Ray Green Coon was one of five children born to Asa Stillman and Eliza Green Coon - the youngest and the last member of the family. He was born January 14, 1860, at Adams Center, N. Y., and died at his home in Farina in his eighty-second year.

He attended the organization meeting of the Farina Seventh Day Baptist Church seventy-five years ago, and is the last of the group to answer the final summons. He was united in marriage to Miss Viola West, September 11, 1881, and just before the death of Mrs. Coon they celebrated fifty years of wedded life. When a boy twelve years of age he was converted and united with the Farina Seventh Day Baptist Church and was a member at the time of his death.

Aside from his son Harry, he is survived by five grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, a half-brother, Clifford Coon of Farina, and by many friends of long standing. Funeral services were conducted October 5, 1941, by his pastor, Rev. C. L. Hill, assisted by Rev. Mr. Schieler of the Evangelical Church, and burial was made in the Farina cemetery.
